LSU won its fifth straight game to improve to 14-2 on the year, while Purdue dropped to 1-10. The Tigers swept their final non-conference series of the year, outscoring the Boilermakers 21-5 over the weekend.

LSU plays host to Nicholls State (8-8) at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Junior right-hander Brady Domangue (1-0) will start on the mound for the Tigers. The game will not be televised, but it can be heard on the LSU Sports Radio Network. Live video, audio and stats will be provided for members of the Geaux Zone at LSUsports.net/live.

The win complete a stretch of five games in five days for LSU, all of which resulted in Tiger victories.

“When the weather forced us to postpone a game and force us to play five times in five days, I thought it was a silver lining,” Mainieri said. “Baseball is the type of game where you can get better by playing every day, and our team was able to relax and just play. I think we gained a lot of confidence and really improved as a team during this stretch.”
